Jane McDonald is reportedly returning to host this year's British Soap Awards after they took a year off in 2024.

Jane McDonald will reportedly be back as host of the British Soap Awards this year.

The camp singer and presenter hosted the 2023 ceremony after being drafted in as a last-minute replacement for Phillip Schofield, who had just been sacked by ITV.

In 2024 the awards were not held for reasons unknown but will be back this spring - and, according to The Sun, McDonald will be returning to compere the night.

A source said: "The soaps are as popular as ever and currently delivering some brilliant must see TV so fans can expect a night to remember when The British Soap Awards returns.

"The British Soap Awards were hugely missed by everyone last year, it's the biggest night in the soap calendar so there's great excitement it's back."

The awards are expected to take place in June and will be broadcast by ITV.
